This wasn't a state-level decision and has nothing to do with the Iowa "school system." This was a decision made by the Des Moines school district, which is indeed making a joke of itself here.
Yep! I can’t believe that every school in Iowa has A$$holes in charge of each one. The communist have infiltrated the schools but surely there are some common sense middle of the ground people left in charge of some of the schools? OMG!
